With versatile deployment options—ranging from hardware and software to container-native environments—BIG-IP Next aligns with your application strategy and provides powerful application services wherever you need them. 

BIG-IP Next Local Traffic Manager 

The core of F5's next-gen application delivery software, BIG-IP Next Local Traffic Manager (LTM) optimizes and streamlines the management of network traffic, so applications are always available, secure, and reliable. 

Optimize traffic management and gain app intelligence 

Experience the next generation of application delivery performance with BIG-IP Next LTM. Built on the foundations that made BIG-IP LTM a market-leading app delivery solution, BIG-IP Next LTM delivers an app-centric management experience. It enhances visibility, automation, consistency, performance, and security. Deliver the most resilient, secure, responsive apps, tailored for your digital landscape with BIG-IP Next LTM. 

Traffic Management - Intelligently load balance app traffic, eliminate single points of failure, and monitor the status of app servers to maintain peak app performance. 

App Delivery Optimization - Optimize app delivery with real-time traffic management, rule programmability, and TCP/content offloading. 

Visibility and Monitoring - Actively or passively monitor how an app is performing based on response times, network conditions, and user context. 

Customize app delivery services 

Applications are unique, but that shouldn't require reinventing the wheel every time you need to manage or maintain them. Enhance operational efficiency by making application management, maintenance, and deployment rapid, repeatable, and consistent. Use tools like iRules and application templates to reduce the overall labor demanded of teams to keep their applications online and performing at their peak. 

App Services Templates - BIG-IP Next LTM's app services templates make launching apps easy and secure, standardizing setup and management for efficiency and enhanced control. 

iRules Versioning - Stage iRules from templates, revert to most-desired versions or safe-points in the event of errors, and gain added visibility into where an iRule is deployed. 

Streamline operations and automation 

Empower teams with advanced automation capabilities as well as faster software updates. Streamline the CI/CD pipeline with BIG-IP Next LTM, seamlessly integrating app services with leading automation and orchestration platforms. Enable quick device deployment and easy configuration of network and app services to reduce time to market from weeks to minutes. 

Rapid Software Upgrades - Optimized upgrade procedures enable completion of major software upgrades in under 15 minutes, increasing operational efficiency, reducing maintenance windows, and increasing app uptime. 

F5 Automation Services, API-Centric - Native automation tooling for Layer 4-7 services provides a declarative approach to implementing, configuring, and managing per-app and platform configurations. 

Secure app delivery and customer data 

Protect the entire user experience by encrypting everything from the client to the server. Keep customer data secure with enhanced visibility for inbound and outbound traffic and industry-leading TLS/SSL performance, maximizing versatility and cipher controls based on your app's needs. BIG-IP Next LTM also defends against DDoS attacks thanks to massive scaling ability and provides ICAP services for integration with data loss protection and virus protection. 

Data Protection - Encrypt traffic with cutting-edge cipher suites based on policy, compliance, or mobile needs, all without compromising the security of the TLS/SSL connection. 

Scalability is Security - BIG-IP Next LTM enables durable app availability, traffic capacity, and resiliency in the face of volumetric attacks, keeping apps online and user data safe. 

Rapid Vulnerability Patches - Agile development process can provide fixes for newly discovered vulnerabilities in as little as 24 hours, with users able to implement patches in under five minutes.
